I had quite a fun, and slightly over-booked, week! Great dinners with friends, I was a guest in Carol's Georgetown class about personal branding and I get to see an old college buddy I haven't seen since we were actually in college! Not bad, but I'm looking forward to a restful weekend for sure.

Are you a touchy person? Or do you prefer a lot of personal space? I can be huggy/touchy so I thought this study about how often we touch our friends was neat!

Warren G. Harding...you sexy beast!

Erling and Emmett, two peas in a pod. Never mind they're separated by three generations and 86 years.

Then there's 8 more things you shouldn't be doing! (Geesh, this list is getting long!)

Okay, here's 8 things you should be doing at work!

Newsletters seem to be back on the rise - here's a few that you might actually enjoy. (I'll add an endorsement for The Skimm!)

I have World Cup fever so this genius video of what it would be like to live like a soccer player had me in stitches.

Getting flack for using social media at work? Give this a read and share it with your boss!

Hip hop + art = Fly Art. I bought it.

Do you ever invest your money in a company? Ahem, Kickstarter counts. Here's the one question you should be asking before you fill in your credit card info.

I was on a hunt for new music to listen (and finding nada!) when I just went back to the classics. I've been re-rocking out to The Miseducation of Lauren Hill all week and it has put me in the best mood! Have a great weekend, lovahs!
